The Post-Gadhafi Journalism You Will Read In The Next 72 Hours
1. Why Gadhafi's Death Vindicates "Leading From Behind" (Tom Friedman) 2. Gadhafi's Death Shows The U.S. Was Never Really "Leading From Behind" (Anne-Marie Slaughter) 3. There Is Still More To Do In Libya (Any Washington Post op-ed) 4. On To Damascus, Then Teheran (Weekly Standard) 5. Gadhafi's ...
Dunno if I'll continue to watch.
For one thing, it's really unconvincing that they'd have taken over the world so easily and quickly.
For another, what's there for the protagonists to DO? It's like watching somebody play a first-person shooter that has lots and lots of dialog.

They Call Us Walking Corpses, Unholy Living Dead
Walking. Dead. Season. Two. Trailer. Well, they're really sticking with this Shane-as-a-durable-character nonsense. Whatever, worse artistic sins have been committed. And it looks pretty great.
@Attackerman: That would be sort of a Soviets-also-have-nukes or Soviets-launch-Sputnik moment, which I'll admit would be a very major surprise.
What I was thinking about, a they're-attacking-us-with-our-own-stuff moment, would be more of a 9-11 style surprise, and might wound us more deeply with the image of script kiddies around the world hijacking our own military.

Perhaps this bogs down over a disagreement about what constitutes a "significant" or "rich" debate. But let's see if we can't liquidate the dispute. Benjamin Wittes faults Eugene Robinson for asserting there has been "virtually no public debate about the expanding use of unmanned drone aircra...
I think what will jolt us out of our complacency will be when somebody hacks into one of our drones in-flight and uses it to kill somebody we like.

Perhaps 992 pounds was what was left after they smoked, sold and stashed all they could?

I Was A Young Kid Watching These Wild Styles, And Bugged
Pitchfork reports Company Flow is reuniting. The most aggressively unique and inaccessible New York rap group of the '90s, these guys had discordant beats and didn't care about song structure. They cared about their scene and policed it aggressively. Ads for their records would sometimes say not...
I just wanna see the arm with the tat back, even though the real tat isn't on the real arm.
Other than that, do what you have to do.

Housekeeping
I've had some personal and family issues to attend to over the past few weeks, and that's led me to continue my nine-month trend of being a poor steward of Attackerman. Relative disinterest is overtaking me, leaving me to doubt that I have any value to add, or even why I'd believe I would in the...
